When I say thumped I mean that it will often not want to fire. Then use it like a hammer and thump the roof. Sometimes I have to thump the actuator with my palm. Sometimes I will push on the nail heads through the slotted opening to push on the nails being feed. If I was doing this for a living I would give up on this nailer real fast. But I realize that this is not contractor grade and would never pass an initial inspection by a professional. I am seriously considering returning this item.

New Vs. Reconditioned

What's the difference between New and Factory-Reconditioned?

Factory-Reconditioned products have been returned to the manufacturer and are restored to like-new operating condition; they go through a rigorous testing and inspection process. Plus, they offer a significant savings vs. new.

Reconditioned products may have minor cosmetic blemishes or scratches that do not affect item performance.

Reconditioned products may not come with all of the consumables the new version comes with (bits, sanding pads/papers, cases, etc.).

Both come with a manufacturer warranty and are covered by our Money Back Guarantee; New is 30 days, Reconditioned is 60 days.
